YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (KIFI) - Weather-permitting, the Yellowstone National Park road from Tower Fall to Canyon Junction (Dunraven Pass) will open at 12:30 p.m. Friday.

Due to expected cool weather, including rain and snow through the weekend, visitors should anticipate potentially hazardous driving conditions, temporary road closures and driving delays throughout Yellowstone National Park.
